He's better cause he put in the work, didn't take sh*t and stepped up as a leader.

3 things. Work ethic, work ethic and finally, work ethic.

Obviously was brought up with a very high,you guessed it,work ethic.

Oh,and he has the skills that come around very rarely but instead of doing a bunch of crap half-assed,he learns one thing really well then moves on.

Being a freak of nature and having that work ethic was bound to pay off sooner or later.

Work ethic, the jumpshot and face up as well as improved FT shooting which is what I kept saying he actually needed when people were still whining about needing post moves like Blake is Shaquille O'neal. Undersized guys like Blake thrive with being able to score outside of the paint and then being able to face their defender and beat them or get to the line.

Blake embracing the face-up and also improving his shooting has even the primary factor in propelling his offensive abilities. The rest is that he's a very hard working player.
